Everything we know about the iPad Pro 2022 is here
Rumors about the M1 chip in the iPad Pro appeared back in 2020, but, to be honest, I didn’t believe in it until recently. A revolution in the world of tablets – it’s hard to say otherwise about the latest iPad Pro. Apple managed to kill two birds with one stone: to make a device that covers all the tasks of designers, artists, architects and other creative professionals, and at the same time does not mix laptops and tablets. As much as you would like to replace one with the other: it is almost impossible to do so. It would seem, where even better? However, Apple has a few tricks up its sleeve. In the article, I propose to talk about the new iPad Pro 2022 , discuss everything that is known about it and figure out whether it is worth waiting for a novelty at all?
iPad Pro 2022 design
The main innovation in the design of the new iPad Pro promises to be support for wireless charging MagSafe. This was reported by well-known analyst Mark Gurman from Bloomberg back in the summer:
But there is one problem: wireless charging cannot be carried out through metal. From this it follows that, most likely, Apple will make the back panel of the iPad Pro 2022 either completely glass, or add a separate insert here. Later in 9to5Mac, information appeared that the Cupertinians were going to stick a large apple logo into the iPad (like on the new MacBook Pro) and charge through it.
Personally, I don’t see the point in bothering about wireless at all. I charge my iPad Air with a MacBook block in a couple of hours and I don’t know grief. Do you think you need wireless charging on your iPad? Write about it in a comment.
Specifications iPad Pro 2022
There is information that from 2022 both the iPad Pro 12.9″ and iPad Pro 11″ will come with a mini-LED display. Now that’s another conversation, there’s nothing to even argue. A good screen for working with a tablet is not a whim, but a necessity of the first degree of importance. But there is a caveat: if the younger version gets a new display, it is likely that the price will also increase. I suggest you start saving now.
As for the new processor, it’s possible that it will be the M2 chip , which should debut in the 2022 MacBook Air . Earlier , the author of AppleInsider.ru Ivan Kuznetsov spoke about the laptop . I recommend reading. Rest assured, there is something to be surprised.
In terms of memory, the new iPad Pro 2022 will most likely still have 5 options:
- 128 GB;
- 256 GB;
- 512 GB;
- 1 TB;
- 2 TB.
The big question is 128 GB of storage on a professional device. It would be nice to see 256 GB at launch, especially since the iPhone 13 lost the 64 GB version in the recent past. Still, 128 GB for this kind of machine will not be enough, don’t you think?
More recently, a titmouse on its tail brought news of a new battery. He should get even tougher. Apple now says the iPad Pro is capable of up to 10 hours of Wi-Fi web browsing or video playback. The indicator is not bad, but far from ideal. Plus, add Magic Keyboard here. And here it is: the energy efficiency of the M2, the increased battery capacity – beauty, and nothing more.
iPad Pro prices 2022
As I said above, the price of new iPads is likely to go up. This is primarily due to the new mini-LED display in the iPad Pro 11″. Last year, when Apple first rolled out the new display, the tablet went up $100 in price. Obviously, the price increase will not bypass the 11″ model. We will not guess on coffee grounds about the dollar exchange rate, so we will leave the price in dollars.
- iPad Pro 11″ Wi-Fi version : $899 for 128GB version and $1999 for 2TB.
- iPad Pro 12.9″ Wi-Fi version : $1099 for 128GB and $2199 for 2TB.
When will the iPad Pro 2022 be released?
Based on Apple products released in 2021, it would be logical to assume that the new product will be presented to us in the first half of 2022, namely, at the spring presentation in March or April. At the same time, we will wait for the MacBook Air. Given that their processors will be identical, it is highly likely that they will also be shown together.
We hope that 2022 will delight us with cool new products that were so lacking in 2021. I think that fans of compact tablets were seriously upset when Apple broke them off with mini-LED. Do you think Apple will surprise us this year?
